That's concerning. How recent was this? Did you use Fastmail's nameservers with your domains? Did you try using your domain with other email services?

Thanks for sharing your experience. Fortunately, I don't have any notes or files.

Hm, with current trends, maybe this needs to be addressed first. What provider has been around long enough and who doesn't do this? Or maybe we can make a list of those who do so they can be avoided.

Gmail actually still allows using the basic HTML interface!

Though they've been making it hard to switch over the years. And because its the "old" interface, it fortunately never changes.
Now that you brought this up, if I don't find anything better, I'm considering switching back to Gmail. And migration would be super fast since I already have most things already set up there.
